Château Pape Clément rouge 2020

This red topper from Pessac-Léognan is mainly made from cabernet sauvignon and merlot. The vines have an average age of 30 years and some much older, there are only 7700 vines per hectare. The soil of clay and gravel retains the heat well, which slowly releases the heat to the grapes in the summer months. This ensures that the grapes ripen slowly and evenly. The grapes are picked manually grape by grape and pressed very slowly after entering the cellars. The wine is aged no less than 18 months in wooden barrels and a 10% in foeders. This wine is one of the flagships of the Magrez family and without a doubt one of the best wines in Bordeaux. In the nose we have ferns, small blue fruits such as cassis and blackberries and a light hint of licorice. On the taste we have ripe cassis, a light spicy undertone and a finale with perfectly balanced tannins. This wine also has perfect storage potential. Decanters in his youth to open wine. Serve with refined dishes and enjoy this complex and rich wine. Health!
